About the FarmBakers’ Acres is a 15-acre certified organic family farm located in Avon, MN. The farm produces vegetables, herbs and fruits for an 18-week CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) program as well as small-volume wholesale to restaurants and grocery stores. We also raise a small amount of pastured poultry, eggs, lamb and beef.

The farm’s success stems from hard work, wise workers, careful seed selection, improving soil health, using drip irrigation, a food safety plan, two hoop houses, a wash-and-pack room in the barn, a walk-in cooler, and our sincere reverence of the land. We avoid using synthetic chemicals or fertilizers, toxic pesticides, and GMO seed.
